Hello,
I have installed CM7 for Defy(not plus) in my cellphone perfectly.
So then, I found the CM7 Defy+ nightlys and I'm trying to install it. But when I install the ROM on it and reboot, it stays in the initial logo forever.
Could you help me?
Best regards.
please help
Try another rom, like MUIU or any other rom and see if the start loop is overcome.
Did you wipe the memory after?
If you want to instal defy+ nighties, you first have to flash the gingerbread kernel. (CM9kernel.zip)
So now flash the stock ROM and start again. You probably downgraded to instal three normal defy nightly do you have to flash a defy+ ROM with the same bl nr. After that root instal 2nt... and flash the defy+ nightly (and wipe). If you want to be able to switch, you will have to flash the downgrade sbf again and flash the CM9 kernel. Then you can switch with just flashing the kernel and ROM (sbf wipe)

Do cm7 nightly have these fixes? I'm running nightly now and camera seems ok, but I don't know yet about the battery.

Hello. Can i install wajku normal or ICS version on my cm7 without multiboot? If i install ICS version will i lose my warranty?
I dont understand your question installing cm7 you actually losed your warranty, you can back flashing a full sbf
Motorola Defy CM7 RC 1.5 OC 1GHz
I know i can get my warranty back... but can i get it back by RSD Lite when i install WajkIUI ICS or Stable?
Yes, you cant downgrade only flashing a full sbf with a higher cg ver, flashing via cwm you can back
Motorola Defy CM7 RC 1.5 OC 1GHz
So one more time ( I dont know english so good ) If i install WajkIUI 2.1.6 i can go back with RSD? And can i install this ROM via 2ndinit without flashing back to froyo?
And What if i install 1.12.16 WajkIUI ICS rom?
Yes, just wipe data and cache in stable recovery and flash WajkUI, i didnt tried ICS version,but i think is the same if the ics zip include the gb kernel, do a backup before flashing wiui, then you can back to cm7
Motorola Defy CM7 RC 1.5 OC 1GHz
Ok thx for answer. What should i use for backup?
If you want to back to cm7 after installing wiui or if something goes wrong you can flash again cm7 after wiping data and cache and dalvik and then restore via cwm the backup and you will have the cm7 exactly it was before flashing wiui!
Motorola Defy CM7 RC 1.5 OC 1GHz
Ok I Backup by cyan recovery Thx for help!
Hi,
How I can downgrade cm7 from cm9? Normally wipe data&cache and then flash cm7? i haven't backup.
thank you
It depends on which version you're running, if you're using the gingerbread kernel with cm9 then you can't downgrade until you get the froyo kernel. anyway let's assume you have froyo running then a simple full wipe and choose the ROM you want and flash. if you have the gingerbread kernel just full wipe choose the ROM and flash it like before, but you have one more step find the zip with the froyo kernel and flash it right after the ROM.
If you can't be bothered with all the just use a full sbf and start clean from rsdlight.

Hi guys,
I accidentally installed GB kernel (2.6.32.9-ge281b6e) on my DEFY (not defy+), when I wanted to try the new CM9...
I really liked ICS but I don't like the fact that the camera is unusable and the battery is leaking really fast. (maybe because of the kernel)
Is there any way I can downgrade the GB Kernel?
Thanks.
Nikola
did u just flashed the small CM9 kernel?
I had cm7 and wanted to instal the cm9.
I went to a thread and downloaded the GB kernel installer (cm9) and installed it from recovery, than the CM9, rebooted and... no return?
Mhhh sounds good. Try to flash the cm9 file again?

Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache before and after the flash? If you haven't, this is the most probable reason for the bootloop. Wipe them now and reboot - you should be fine now. And yes, you can always downgrade kernel, as long as you don't flash a full sbf with higher CG39.smg version.
Sry guys i havent made myself clear enough ... The phone is working fine... But no camera and battery is leaking really fast. Im not stuck in the boot phase aka bootloop... The phone has GB kernel..how to downgrade the kernel?
Just flash CM7 kernel and then a CM7 ROM. Done.
Hi guys!!
i have a doubt... i want to "clean" my defy+ so i decided to flash a stock sbf, format sd, charge the battery and then go back to cm!
my doubt is: does the performance (on cm) change depending on the sbf i flash?? or after flashing a custom rom, there won't be any difference??
becuase i read some users saying nordic froyo is the best..
thanks!

I don't think "cleaning" your phone will give you more than a placebo effect. Are you on bl5, bl6 or bl7?
In my opinion it's not too important what sbf you have as base, but the kernel you flash. I'm on bl6, so I can flash both froyo and gb kernels. If i want to go back to stock and charge my battery to maximum after using a froyo rom, i only restore this 4.5.1-134_DFP-231 nandroid with 4.5.3-109 or 4.5.2-109-DHT22 kernel. I'm on bootolader 6, so i've flashed a fixed sbf with the bl6 froyo sbf bootloader (here)
For every-day use, I have the 4.5.2-109-DHT22 kernel on gb roms. When i flash this over my stock gingerbread rom together with a custom rom (gingerbread rom that is), i get great battery (with deepsleep). Also, gingerbread kernels support 4 vsels in bootmenu and IMO reads the battery level much more correctly.
What you can do to your defy+ depends a lot on what bl version you're on. If you have bl7, you can't flash froyo kernels, etc.
Haven't really got any experiences with kernels and speed/performance.
firt at all thanks for your help!!
actually i'm not sure about my bootloader.. i think it's bl6 but i never got how to understand it...
DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-132
is it bl6??
it's strange because i everytime i flash 4.5.2-109-DHT22 kernel i get bootloader error.. but i can root it normally so i don't think it's bl7!
thanks again for your help!!

4.5.2-109-DHT22 is BL5, yours is BL6 and that's why you get the error.
Thabks thanks thanks!!!
Really helpful like always!!
You can flash bl6froyo sbf or bl6froyo fixed sbf with the bootloader only! then you can flash Walter's kernel and even froyo kernels!

thanks again!
Hi folks!
As the title suggests, I want out from JellyBean and back to MIUI Pickachu Edition 2.xz
I think the latest 2nd boot builds have the GB kernel since I see 4 Vsel levels, so should I flash the froyo kernel?
If so, what should be the order of flashing ROM -> Kernel or other way round?
Also, I have a nandroid backup of when I had MIUI. What steps do I have to follow to restore it, i.e, do I have to flash the ROM (and/or kernel since I was on froyo kernel when the backup was taken) to restore nandroid?
I read a lot about the fuss of latest nightlies changing /system and /data to ext4, but in my case they are ext3, so I guess I should be alright?
Reason for going back is LAG! the immense amount of time to open stuff. I tried loving it, but its just too slow to the point I feel like its running Windows 8 on Intel 8086.
Please post all questions in Q&A. Thread moved there.
Hi!
My friend was in same situation and he went ahead and tried to flash MIUI Pickachu edition, but his process got stuck and now his Defy won't boot.
Hes now flashing stock Froyo sbf.
Thats the reason why I need to know instructions to get back to MIUI without going through sbf flashing.
Any help gladly appreciated!

how do I install miui and cyanogenmod both on defy MB525
any help in installing miui on defy would be much appreciated.
You need to flash a Froyo SBF. For some reasons going back to 2.3 always ends in a cache error, flashing 2.6 kernel, nandroid, fullwhipe etc. doesnt work

R U on Froyo or GB? if Froyo try to flash fixed sbf I will attached if needed.
Just flashing froyo kernel was ok for the 2nd boot builds upto 9 nov builds.
From 9th nov builds the cm10 rom formats our defy to ext4 file system, so in order to downgrade we need to flash the sbf.

My friend, thats what I have said, in my OP,
I have checked using mount command from rooted shell and I can confirm that my /data and /system are STILL in ext3 even though some say that the latest nightlies change the fs while formatting.
Try restoring your backup, you may succeed, otherwise you need to start all over again, with the sbf. I find it better to start all over anyway, no matter, what rom we are talking about. Those installed over a freshly flashed sbf proved to be snappier and absolutely bugfree - at least for me.
Simply try to restore your backup. I tried many roms so far, aslo the newest by Quarx and Epsylon and i always worked for me to install a new rom/zip/ withour anything further. Never installed a sbf.
Was quite late in posting a reply but I did end up flashing Stock Defy 2.2.2 SEA sbf.
I did flash successfully MIUI (Pikachu edition) but it was a bit off, so took a backup and flashed sbf.
Have been on stock ever since (been kinda busy).
